    Second time in this restaurant as we found the food quite good. In saying that last night was a disaster. Arrived at 7pm as per booking. Sat bout 7.10pm all good, first course bout 30 minutes later. 8,25 still no mains. Asked staff about delay and was told there was a delay in the kitchen. Offered my wife a glass of wine by way of an apology.. fair enough. 8.45 main arrived. Not good enough. We won't be returning thanks all the same

    Calamari was basic not very crispy. Main courses plates were cold chicken was rather dry and sauce was salty. Veal was cold. The side of potatoes was very nice hot and crispy. The dessert tiramisu was tiny and had obviously been premade and frozen, which made it watery and not very pleasant. Very dissappointed overall. Waiter was very nice and the atmosphere was very cosy and nice.
